This is my second year teaching for the British Columbia Institute of Technology’s Summer Field School program in Italy, and I appreciate the opportunity to be an instructor for the BCIT Faculty of Business + Media.

First?!?!? Ive never been first!
I really like your approachability. Talk about an embarrassment of riches! It will be interesting to get a final count on which camera you used the most.
Italy ? Watch your gear and wallet at any time. Store docs, bank cards in RFID pouches. Friends stayed in hotel near Pantheon, waked up and the Rolex gone and travel money too.
What cameras do you "actually" own, as I only hear you talk about loaners ??
Internal storage is such a no brainer, wish more cameras had that.
Bc it 😮
SL2 is the camera you need, M11 is the camera you desire
Hopefully, you are not going out to walk with all that equipment. In Italy (actually, in most major European cities), less is better. No, they won't use a gun like in the USA, but they are experts in making stuff disappear.
Spent May in Portugal, used my SL2 for 90% (with Sigma 35mm f2, and 28-70mm f2.8) the rest with my M10R. I would upgrade to the M11-P for the internal memory alone. Such a nice camera. The SL2 is such a great camera. Enjoy Italy. Cheers from Ottawa!
Love those clicks! Awesome video. 😎✌️
